to approach a woman in a bar
or a latrine for that matter
is easy to the extent
that she is stationary
but to approach a gamine
and ask for directions
or a date
is like harnessing the power
of the sun
as it slithers
like a water snake
through your hands
and down the street
laughing without conviction
gamine \gam-EEN; GAM-een\, noun:
1. A girl who wanders about the streets; an urchin.
2. A playfully mischievous girl or young woman.
